Naya vs ChatGPT memory.

ChatGPT memory makes the assistant remember you — facts and preferences carried across conversations, so you don't repeat yourself inside the chat. Naya does something different: it keeps the context around your own work and life, so after an interruption you return to the thread instead of starting over.

In plain terms. ChatGPT memory is memory for the chatbot — it personalizes the AI's replies. Naya is memory for your life — a private iPhone app that holds the reasons, people, and half-finished thoughts around what you were doing and brings them back when you return. Different jobs; many people use both.

Where they diverge

Both "remember." For different reasons.

ChatGPT memory

  • Remembers facts and preferences to personalize the assistant's answers
  • Lives inside the chat window — you get value by prompting
  • Memory tied to your OpenAI account, in the cloud
  • Best for not re-explaining yourself to the AI across chats

Naya

  • Keeps the context around your work — not facts for a chatbot to use
  • Works quietly in the background; you don't prompt your way back into your day
  • Private and iPhone-first; your captures are not a chat corpus
  • Best for returning to your own threads after life interrupts
Who each is for

Pick by what you keep losing.

Choose ChatGPT memory if your main workspace is the chatbot and you want it to remember your preferences and context across conversations. Choose Naya when the thing you keep losing is your own context — the unfinished thought, the dropped thread, the reason something mattered — after you step away from the screen entirely.
